Fairy Godmothers

About Us

Fairy Godmothers has built a solid reputation for quality home-based care for the families of Rodney and the North Shore. Fairy Godmothers is one of the Wee Wisdom Group’s homebased services. Being part of a chartered network means that like other licensed and chartered ECE services, home-based care networks receive government funding and operate within education and other relevant legal parameters.

Our coordinators are all qualified and passionate about ECE and support our educators with Professional Development and ensure that all the educators are compliant with ECE regulations. Our educators and coordinators become your extended family. They will care for your child as if they were their own. Fairy Godmothers is about building strong relationships between educators, coordinators and families to support children.

We put the LOVE into learning

We know that choosing an educator or someone else to look after your child is one of the hardest decisions in life you will have to make. We therefore try to make this process as easy as possible to satisfy you with the knowledge that your child is in the best hands.

Fairy Godmothers will discuss with you your requirements for your child’s care and the timetable that suits you. This is done through an interview process and then our coordinators will match you with one of our Educators who most suits your own family’s lifestyle and beliefs. The atmosphere in our educator’s home is one that is calm and safe, due to the low ratio of children and is more like the home environment than early childhood centres, which is why it is particularly suited and a firm favourite with families with infants.

The children that are cared for by our Fairy Godmothers develop self-confidence through being guided to become more independent. We offer the children plenty of opportunities to explore their creative side with art and craft activities and music plays an important role. Through offering playgroups and group excursions the children socialise with children of all age groups and learn to develop good relationships with other children in a family like setting. The low ratios also mean that children are able to get out into the community more which instils in them more of a sense of belonging.

We put the Love into Learning because all our Educators have a genuine desire to work and educate young children.

Physical environment

Each of our educators have to undergo strict assessments of their home environment to ensure that it is compliant with all MOE regulations and offers all children a safe and welcoming place to be when in their care. We find that children in home-based care are offered more opportunities to explore the natural environment because of the low ratios with regular excursions to parks, forests and the beach. These trips are normally teamed up with other educators to support each other and to provide the children more opportunities to socialise with other children.

“Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you have done for our child. He truly has learnt a lot being with you. He is a confident boy who has patience with younger children and is no longer shy talking to “bigger kids” or adults. He is going to miss you a lot and so will we. Thank you”.

“I would like to thank you so much for our daughters care. It has been very nice knowing such caring people. It’s sad she is leaving FGI (moving towns) since she has best memories of good friends and above all loving and caring care educators. She’s so happy when she is at her care educator’s house. She can’t stop talking about their caring filled with love and knowledge. I hope she finds it the same where she is going. Keep up the best standard FGI ‘Fairy Golden Godmothers’. God bless you all”.

“We can only say we love Fairy Godmothers and we love our care educator! She is like a second mummy to our daughter. H is always mentioning her care educator and the other kids in care. We are happy with H’s progress. Her care educator is a very loving carer and we feel lucky to have her look after H and to meet her as well. It’s not easy to trust someone else when it comes to your child but with our carer, we TRUST her straight up!”

“Our son, E has been with FGI for over a year now, since we moved here to the Hibiscus Coast. We are impressed with his caregiver and how she lovingly cares for our son. She is friendly and professional and we value her experience with young children. E is thriving on the combination of in-home care including outings to activities such as library story time, play group and music classes. It is reassuring as parents to know that E is receiving kind and gentle guidance”
